You simply tweet the first half of your postcode, plus the amount of snow you’re seeing ie: “#uksnow NG9 3/10”, and it uses the information to create a user generated weather chart of where it’s snowing in the UK, and how heavy.

Starting today, you’ll see prompts for Facebook Connect at websites across the Internet and have the opportunity to take your Facebook profile information, friends and privacy preferences to your favorite sites.

For example, you can use Facebook Connect with the reviews website, Citysearch. You can easily log in using your Facebook account, and from there, you’ll be able to interact with all of your Facebook friends. They’ll be able to see some of the same profile information they can see on Facebook, which is fully controlled by your privacy settings. When you write a review for a restaurant, you’ll have the option to publish that story back to Facebook, where your friends can see it, too. This makes finding your friends’ reviews on Citysearch a snap. With Facebook Connect, it will be easier for you to share and connect with your friends across the Web.
